I have a large record collection been buying records for over 50 years and I must have about 2,000. It’s not a humble brag, it’s a flipping addiction!! At some point soon I will need to get my head around selling these and not have a burden there for my kids when I exit stage left.

I was listening to Word In Your Ear podcast (Hepworth/Allen) and they were interviewing Pete Hammill. He came across as a nice chap and I realised I have nothing of his oeuvre in my collection. I went on to Amazon Music and have been listening to ‘The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other’ all week.

As a Bowie fan (my first album was Hunky Dory back in 1972) I was staggered to hear the influence this must have had on Bowie, specifically the Space Oddity and Man Who Sold The World albums.

Any VDGG fans out there?
